We don't use slides, but there are pictures and props used to demonstrate the various points of the lecture. Detail? not so much. That is the part I feel needs a bit of work in our lectures in my jurisdiction.
Which is, of course, their right.
True, but it leaves a lot of room for misinterpretation if you ask me. Not that the literal presentation of the lecture is bad, it just doesn't cover the bases in my opinion. YMMV.
DING DING DING!!!!! We have a winner!
I wish I had know that I could 'interrupt' & ask questions! I was a single initiation, so there would have been plenty of time. Can't wait for my FC & MM lectures. But then I knew some of the material in the EA lecture because of my Biblical studies.
we do this on a lodge level mind you and it is not a jurisdiction wide thing . I felt that the degrees were lacking , and left the candidate scratching his head afterwards so I felt that we needed to do some explaining . If the old heads want to go home , a few of us will stick around after the meeting and explain things to the new brother and try and make it as clear as we can , even if he asks questions or not .DING DING DING!!!!! We have a winner!
Well, that's part of the problem. I'm also not sure if there is room for any elaboration in the regulations. I know that in Lodge for our ME during stated, there is a strict guideline as what can be taught. The FL GL has a list.
Oh, believe me, my mileage varies plenty.
Lolol ... I had a similar experience when I first got to witness some Prince Hall work. What they require their candidates to do and go through, and the exacting standards of memory work that they hold them to ... let's just say that I'm happy I didn't go through Prince Hall. Those Brothers are tough.
Depends on the jurisdiction, Brother. Here in Wisconsin, if you interrupt ... we'll kill you!I wish I had know that I could 'interrupt' & ask questions!

I was highly impressed with the fact that it was all from memory, there were a few books open on the sidelines with Brothers following along to better learn the parts. My Brother from Home Depot is newly Raised and is being cultivated for the Chairs, so he was very diligently following along.
So you'd just better watch yourself!
Oh! I am trembling in my blue slippers (which didn't fit BTW, size 16 feet).Depends on the jurisdiction, Brother. Here in Wisconsin, if you interrupt ... we'll kill you!
Well, you know what they say about a man with large feet ... big shoes.
Big hands, nose, feet, etc all means more money to buy clothes!
You put clothes on your nose???
